Director Wagner states that this year's profits from the Gas Works will aggregate alwut $550,000, and that he figures on profits for 18D0 from tbe sale of gas. Tbe latest report from Chief Engineer Parks, that for 1887, gave the total number of private gas consumers at HK.bUt, and a fair estimate of the present number would be 125,000. These are the citizens, it is claimed, who should derive most benefit from tbe introduction of new processes and economic management of the works.

Not a few question the right of the city to engage in the gas business any more than any other legitimate enterprise, though, if tbe public lighting and the wants of a large Third street, for permission to remove his place of business to No. 2344 North Fifteenth street.

Tbe case of Catharine Wolters, of No. 315 Fairmount avenue, who Lolds a brewers' license and was brought before the court for bottling beer without a bottler's license, upon which a technical verdict of guilty was rendered, was argued before Judge Willson on Saturday. It was contended by Mrs. Wolters's counsel that brewers had the right to si-ll in quantities of a gallon or over, and that there was nothing in the law stipulating the kind of packages it was to be sold in. The prosecution contended that the act meant tbat no single package should contain 60 CENTS.

Tbe half a million and over profits of this year and the round million counted on for 1M0, it is very forcibly put, should not be taken from the pockets of gas consumers merely that there may be that much more money to be spent for paving streets, bettering the water supply and other necessary improvements. With other citizens, gas consumers are specially taxed at the rate of $1.80 per thousand on their property for the money needed to run the city government, and operate and improve public works, and tbey ask now that tbey shall not be doubly taxed by tbe continuance of an inordinate gas rate.

Facts That Speak Right Out. From the statements made by Director Wagner at Saturday's inspection a few facts are gleaned that tell the whole story of the Other Camden Items. The primary election in Caunlen to-night will be one of the hottest contests that hare taken place for years. The politicians and ward workers failed to respect the Sabbath yesterday and continued to electioneer the entire day. Roth the Campbell and Pratt factions are doing active work.

Jacob Daubmann, ex-Sheriff of Camden county, has appeared upon the scene at the last moment, and is trying to pull his old political wires in furor of Campbell for Mayor. He has also turned in lor Right-mire for Receiver of Taxes.

The image of District Attorney Graham (lives Ills Keasons for Not Instituting Suit. District Attorney Graham, in a communication to the clerks of Councils on Saturday, says be will not institute proceedings against Dell Noblit, charged with attempting to bribe a member of Council to vote for the Northeastern Railroad ordinance, and gives bis reasons at length.

The plan to proceed is through the magistrate's court, it being no part of the District Attorney's duty to originate proceedings in such a case. The memlier attempted to be bribed, or any member of the investigating committee could lodge the complaint. But the case is outlawed, and on this subject the District Attorney says: "You have found in your report that the alleged attempt to btibe was made in 1884. Tbe charge is therefore very stale.

And further on in the same sec 101 was not wholly obliterated iy the rail, roe crime of murder is the greatest wrong man can inflict upon his fellow-man.

The reverend preacher held that in the long protracted trial of jtoine murderers whose guilt is self-evident the tene of horror at the crime is lessened ami the security of 11 man life endangered. The murderer must learn that crime wdl not go unpunished. Dr.

Rumney then attacked the liquor traffic, and said it was the power of alcohol which had made many a murderer. Speaking of those who could by a word in season rescue many from the grasp ot the tempter and yet held aloof, be oh-ecM cd that those who grasped thir robes of self-riehteousness around them would be held accountable to God for their actions.

The sarpliced choir of St. John the lUptHt, Germantoa ren car motors and dynamos, when he applied to Peck for financial assistance.

The latter contracted to advance funds in consideration that the profits should be divided in certain proportions. Subsequently, Peck agreed to share bis interest with Eaton. After considerable money had been spent, Eaton charges that last March, when he was in Chicago, it became evident to Peck in New York that valuable discoveries had been made of which Eaton was not aware, and that Peck then began to squeeze him out by telegraphing that if he did not advance more money within a week he would consider him out of the deal. Eaton claims that Peck at the same time represented the experiments to be unsuccessful and unpromising, but that far from this being the truth tbe defendant was then considering an cfltr from a syndicate, headed by Frank Butterworth, to buy the American rights alone in the inventions for $215,000 cash, which was concealed from tbe plaintiff and a sale subse- street for $73,000 to George K. and Alan Reed.

This prosecution is barred by the Htatute. It is true, tbe statute of limitation can be pleaded by the defendant, and in its nature is a matter of defense.

In cafces where tbe bar of tbe statute is a mat-er of doubt, or the prisoner has been away, so tbat tbe question of tbe suspension of the running of the statute arises, it would be the duty of the prosection to have the indictment found and proceed to trial in order that these questions might be determined, but where affirmatively and as an admitted fact the ofiense is barred, it would be useless and a waste of time to prosecute; for without tbe intervention of the plea of the f-tatHte by tbe defendant, the court, under tbe language of the statute, upon this fct a Pf earing, would be bound to arrest, the pro-hccutien and say: 'The indictment shall be brought or exhibited within' two years 'and not after," for this is the language of the law in Pennsylvania.
